In an attempt to reduce processing cost and to improve the resolution of PDPs, a micro
mold transfer processing route for barrier ribs of plasma display panel was attempted. In this study,
the parameters that may cause defects during the process were identified, which include the
shrinkage during the UV curing process, stress due to the evaporation of organic components, and
sintering shrinkage. Considering such parameters, a UV curable paste was developed and the barrier
ribs of PDPs were successfully processed via the process. This work demonstrated the possibility of
a build-up route in manufacturing barrier ribs of PDP

Abstract: Various closed-cells of plasma display panel were prepared via capillary moldingof paste containing ceramic powders of barrier ribs. The cells include meander, honeycomb, waffle and SDR. In this study, the sintering behaviors of such barrier ribs were investigated. The effects of pre-firing temperature, solid content in the paste, and type of cells on morphologies of the ribs were examined. The results indicated that cells with asymmetric geometry such as SDR and meander results in severe distortion after the sintering. The cells with symmetric geometry such as waffle and honeycomb, on the other hand, the distortion was negligible. Using the waffle type cells, the luminance characteristics of PDP device were evaluated.

Abstract: Barrier ribs of plasma display panel (PDP) were prepared via injection molding of
thermally curable paste. The paste composition was optimized by considering the effects of powder content, binder type and content on the viscosity of paste. Various types of molds including stripe, honeycomb, and meander were prepared using UV lithography. In this study, main causes ofdimensional change during sintering of meander type barrier ribs produced by injection molding process were investigated by changing powder content in the paste. The results indicated that sintering stress generated in the barrier rib is not balanced at the points where the ribs are curved,
causing dimensional change in the ribs.

Abstract: The bonding mechanism between water-based UV curable ink and active groups on paper’s fiber during curing process was studied in this paper. Low viscosity water-based UV-cured resin was synthesized by epoxy resins, epoxy diluent, acrylic acid and maleic anhydride in the presence of catalyst. The viscosity of the synthesis system and synthetic products were significantly reduced when epoxy diluent was added to replace parts of the epoxy resin. Epoxy diluent was very useful in reducing the viscosity of the product, but over-dose would have negative effects on the quality of the cured film. The water-based epoxy acrylate prepolymer was used as the substitution for the ink to investigate the binding mechanism between the active groups of prepolymer and fiber under UV irradiation. The prepolymer and photoinitiator were mixed and the mixture was diluted to an appropriate viscosity by a small amount of water, then printed on the paper by the method of analog printing and curred by UV curing machine. The printed paper was used to extract lignin by enzymatic/mild acidolysis. FT-IR was used to characterize the changes of the active groups in lignin. The results showed that the changes of active groups in lignin were founded in the existence of ultraviolet and photoinitiator, which consistent with the change of double bonds in prepolymer. The free radicals produced by photoinitiator in curing process not only promoted the double bonds to polymerize, but also accelerated the active groups of lignin binding. Experiments show that chemical bonds exist between them.

Abstract: nanostructured Al2O3 coated ZrO2-Y2O3 thermal barrier coatings were prepared by plasma spraying method using nanostructured alumina coated 8mol%Y2O3 stabilized ZrO2 powder as starting material and the thermal insulation property was investigated as a function of the thickness of the coating. The results indicate that the structure and property of thermal barrier coating using nanoAl2O3 coated ZrO2-Y2O3 powder was superior to that of using single zirconia powder. The thermal insulation property of the thermal barrier coating increased with thickness of the coating increasing, and the advantage is more obvious with temperature increasing.
